In particular, a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, a stereoisomer, a solvate, a hydrate, a polymorph, a prodrug or an isotopic variation thereof, as well as a pharmaceutical composition including the same are disclosed. As a selective irreversible inhibitor of Bruton&#39;s tyrosine kinase, the described compound can be used for preventing or treating diseases such as inflammation, autoimmune diseases (such as rheumatoid arthritis), xenogeneic immune diseases and cancers.

FIELD OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE

The disclosure belongs to the pharmaceutical field. In particular, the present disclosure relates to fused bicyclic compounds which have an inhibitory effect on protein tyrosine kinase activity, pharmaceutical compositions containing them, and processes for their preparation and use.

BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE

Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) belongs to the Tec tyrosine kinase family. BTK is mainly expressed in most hematopoietic cells (such as B cells, mast cells, and macrophages) and is present in bone marrow, spleen, and lymph node tissues. BTK plays an important role in B cell receptor (BCR) and FcR signaling pathways, which are involved in the development and differentiation of B cells. BTK can be activated by upstream Src family kinases. Once activated, BTK in turn phosphorylates PLCγ, which in turn affects B cell function and survival (Humphries et al., J. Biol. Chem. 279: 37651, 2004). These signal paths must be precisely regulated. Mutations in the gene encoding BTK result in a human hereditary B cell-specific immunodeficiency disease, known as X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA). Abnormalities in BCR-mediated signaling may lead to dysregulation of B cell activation, leading to many autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Preclinical studies have shown that BTK-deficient mice are resistant to the development of collagen-induced arthritis. In addition, clinical studies of Rituxan (CD20 antibody) for reducing mature B cells have shown that B cells play a key role in many inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and multiple sclerosis.

In addition, abnormal activation of BTK plays an important role in the pathogenesis of B-cell lymphoma, which means that inhibition of BTK is useful in the treatment of hematological malignancies (Davis et al, Nature 463: 88-92, 2010). Preliminary clinical trials have shown that Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor PCI-32765 is effective in the treatment of several types of B-cell lymphoma. Since BTK acts as a mediator in multiple signal transduction pathways, BTK inhibitors have become hot spots as anti-inflammatory and/or anti-cancer drugs.

Ibrutinib (PCI-32765) is the first marketed BTK inhibitor in the world. On Nov. 13, 2013, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved use of Ibrutinib in the treatment of mantle cell lymphoma. In February 2014, the indication for chronic lymphocytic leukemia was added.

However, in order to optimize pharmacokinetics, prolong the drug resistance and reduce toxic side effects, it is necessary to further develop new BTK inhibitors.

SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure provides a novel fused bicyclic compound and a composition comprising the same and use thereof. The compounds have better BTK kinase inhibitory activity and/or better pharmacodynamic/pharmacokinetic properties (especially better metabolic stability) and can be used to treat, prevent, and alleviate diseases mediated by BTK kinase.

Compounds described herein can comprise one or more asymmetric centers, and thus can exist in various stereoisomeric forms, e.g., enantiomers and/or diastereomers. For example, the compounds described herein can be in the form of an individual enantiomer, diastereomer or geometric isomer (such as cis- and trans-isomer), or can be in the form of a mixture of stereoisomers, including racemic mixtures and mixtures enriched in one or more stereoisomer. Isomers can be isolated from mixtures by methods known to those skilled in the art, including chiral high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the formation and crystallization of chiral salts; or preferred isomers can be prepared by asymmetric syntheses.

Also disclosed herein are all suitable isotopical variants of the compounds disclosed herein. An isotope derivative of a compound disclosed herein is defined as wherein at least one atom is replaced by an atom having the same atomic number but differing in atomic mass from the atomic mass typically found in nature. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds disclosed herein include hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, phosphorus, sulfur, and chlorine isotopes, such as ²H, ³H, ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹⁵N, ¹⁷O, ¹⁸O, ¹⁸F, ³¹P, ³²P, ³⁵S and ³⁶Cl, respectively. Certain isotopical variants of the compounds disclosed herein, such as the radioisotopes of ³H and ¹⁴C are incorporated are useful in the tissue distribution experiments of drugs and substrates. Tritium, i.e., ³H, and carbon-14, i.e., ¹⁴C, are particularly preferred for their ease of preparation and detectability. In addition, substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium, i.e., ²H, has therapeutic advantages due to its good metabolic stability, for example, increased half-life in vivo or reduced dosage, and is thus preferable in some cases. Isotopical variants of the compounds disclosed herein can be prepared conventionally by the following procedures, for example by descriptive methods or by the preparations described in the Examples below, using appropriate reagents containing appropriate isotopes.

After study and research, the present inventors have unexpectedly discovered that the deuterated compound of the fused bicyclic compound disclosed herein and its pharmaceutically acceptable salt have equivalent or superior pharmacokinetics and/or pharmacodynamics properties, as compared with the non-deuterated compound of the fused bicyclic compound disclosed herein. It is thus suitable for use as a compound to inhibit BTK kinase and is more suitable for the preparation of a medicament for treating cancer and BTK kinase-related diseases.

The compound of the present disclosure or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof may be in an amorphous or crystalline form. Furthermore, the compounds of the present disclosure may exist in one or more crystalline forms. Accordingly, the disclosure includes within its scope all amorphous or crystalline forms of the compounds disclosed herein.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that many organic compounds can form complexes with solvents that react in or precipitate or crystallize from the solvent. These complexes are referred to as “solvates.” When the solvent is water, the complex is referred to as a “hydrate.” The disclosure encompasses all solvates of the compounds disclosed herein.

In addition, prodrugs are also included within the context of the present disclosure. The term “prodrug” as used herein refers to a compound which is converted in vivo to an active form thereof having a medical effect by, for example, hydrolysis in blood. Pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs are described in T. Higuchi and V. Stella, Prodrugs as Novel Delivery Systems, A.C.S. Symposium Series, Vol. 14, Edward B. Roche, ed., Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, 1987, and D. Fleisher, S. Ramon and H. Barbra “Improved oral drug delivery: solubility limitations overcome by the use of prodrugs”, Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews (1996) 19(2) 115-130, each is incorporated herein by reference.

A prodrug is any covalently bonded carrier which, when administered to a patient, releases the compound disclosed herein in vivo. Prodrugs are typically prepared by modifying functional groups in such a way that the modifications of the prodrug can be cleaved in vivo to yield the parent compound. Prodrugs include, for example, compounds disclosed herein wherein a hydroxy, amino or sulfhydryl group is bonded to any group which, when administered to a patient, can be cleaved to form a hydroxy, amino or sulfhydryl group. Thus, representative examples of prodrugs include, but are not limited to, covalent derivative formed by hydroxyl, amino or mercapto functional groups of the compounds disclosed herein reacted with acetic acid, formic acid or benzoic acid. Further, in the case of a carboxylic acid (—COOH), an ester such as a methyl ester, an ethyl ester or the like can be used. The ester itself may be active and/or may hydrolyze under conditions in human bodies. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable hydrolysable in vivo ester groups include those groups which readily decompose in the human body to release the parent acid or a salt thereof.

Administration

The pharmaceutical composition provided by the present disclosure can be administered by a variety of routes including, but not limited to, oral administration, parenteral administration, inhalation administration, topical administration, rectal administration, nasal administration, oral administration, vaginal administration, administration by implant or other means of administration. For example, parenteral administration as used herein includes subcutaneous administration, intradermal administration, intravenous administration, intramuscular administration, intra-articular administration, intraarterial administration, intrasynovial administration, intrasternal administration, intracerebroventricular administration, intralesional administration, and intracranial injection or infusion techniques.

Generally, the compounds provided herein are administered in an effective amount. The amount of the compound actually administered will typically be determined by a physician, in the light of the relevant circumstances, including the condition to be treated, the chosen route of administration, the actual compound administered, the age, weight, and response of the individual patient, the severity of the patient's symptoms, and the like.

When used to prevent the disorder disclosed herein, the compounds provided herein will be administered to a subject at risk for developing the condition, typically on the advice and under the supervision of a physician, at the dosage levels described above. Subjects at risk for developing a particular condition generally include those that have a family history of the condition, or those who have been identified by genetic testing or screening to be particularly susceptible to developing the condition.

The pharmaceutical compositions provided herein can also be administered chronically (“chronic administration”). Chronic administration refers to administration of a compound or pharmaceutical composition thereof over an extended period of time, e.g., for example, over 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 5 years, etc, or may be continued indefinitely, for example, for the rest of the subject's life. In certain embodiments, the chronic administration is intended to provide a constant level of the compound in the blood, e.g., within the therapeutic window over the extended period of time.

The pharmaceutical compostions of the present disclosure may be further delivered using a variety of dosing methods. For example, in certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition may be given as a bolus, e.g., in order to rapidly raise the concentration of the compound in the blood to an effective level. The bolus dose depends on the systemic levels of the active ingredient desired, e.g., an intramuscular or subcutaneous bolus dose allows a slow release of the active ingredient, while a bolus delivered directly to the veins (e.g., through an IV drip) allows a much faster delivery which quickly raises the concentration of the active ingredient in the blood to an effective level. In other embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition may be administered as a continuous infusion, e.g., by IV drip, to provide maintenance of a steady-state concentration of the active ingredient in the subject's body. Furthermore, in still yet other embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition may be administered as first as a bolus dose, followed by continuous infusion.

The compositions for oral administration can take the form of bulk liquid solutions or suspensions, or bulk powders. More commonly, however, the compositions are presented in unit dosage forms to facilitate accurate dosing. The term “unit dosage forms” refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for human subjects and other mammals, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active material calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect, in association with a suitable pharmaceutical excipient. Typical unit dosage forms include prefilled, premeasured ampules or syringes of the liquid compositions or pills, tablets, capsules or the like in the case of solid compositions. In such compositions, the compound is usually a minor component (from about 0.1 to about 50% by weight or preferably from about 1 to about 40% by weight) with the remainder being various vehicles or excipients and processing aids helpful for forming the desired dosing form.

With oral dosing, one to five and especially two to four and typically three oral doses per day are representative regimens. Using these dosing patterns, each dose provides from about 0.01 to about 20 mg/kg of the compound provided herein, with preferred doses each providing from about 0.1 to about 10 mg/kg, and especially about 1 to about 5 mg/kg.

Transdermal doses are generally selected to provide similar or lower blood levels than are achieved using injection doses, generally in an amount ranging from about 0.01 to about 20% by weight, preferably from about 0.1 to about 20% by weight, preferably from about 0.1 to about 10% by weight, and more preferably from about 0.5 to about 15% by weight.

Injection dose levels range from about 0.1 mg/kg/hour to at least 10 mg/kg/hour, all for from about 1 to about 120 hours and especially 24 to 96 hours. A preloading bolus of from about 0.1 mg/kg to about 10 mg/kg or more may also be administered to achieve adequate steady state levels. The maximum total dose is not expected to exceed about 2 g/day for a 40 to 80 kg human patient.

Liquid forms suitable for oral administration may include a suitable aqueous or nonaqueous vehicle with buffers, suspending and dispensing agents, colorants, flavors and the like. Solid forms may include, for example, any of the following ingredients, or compounds of a similar nature: a binder such as microcrystalline cellulose, gum tragacanth or gelatin; an excipient such as starch or lactose, a disintegrating agent such as alginic acid, Primogel, or corn starch; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate; a glidant such as colloidal silicon dioxide; a sweetening agent such as sucrose or saccharin; or a flavoring agent such as peppermint, methyl salicylate, or orange flavoring.

Injectable compositions are typically based upon injectable sterile saline or phosphate-buffered saline or other injectable excipients known in the art. As before, the active compound in such compositions is typically a minor component, often being from about 0.05 to 10% by weight with the remainder being the injectable excipient and the like.

Transdermal compositions are typically formulated as a topical ointment or cream containing the active ingredient(s). When formulated as a ointment, the active ingredients will typically be combined with either a paraffinic or a water-miscible ointment base. Alternatively, the active ingredients may be formulated in a cream with, for example an oil-in-water cream base. Such transdermal formulations are well-known in the art and generally include additional dermal penetration ingredients to enhance the stability of the active ingredients or Formulation. All such known transdermal formulations and ingredients are included within the scope provided herein.

The compounds provided herein can also be administered by a transdermal device. Accordingly, transdermal administration can be accomplished using a patch either of the reservoir or porous membrane type, or of a solid matrix variety.

The above-described components for orally administrable, injectable or topically administrable compositions are merely representative. Other materials as well as processing techniques and the like are set forth in Part 8 of Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 17th edition, 1985, Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pa., which is incorporated herein by reference.

The compounds of the present disclosure can also be administered in sustained release forms or from sustained release drug delivery systems. A description of representative sustained release materials can be found in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences.

The present disclosure also relates to the pharmaceutically acceptable formulations of a compound of the present disclosure. In one embodiment, the formulation comprises water. In another embodiment, the formulation comprises a cyclodextrin derivative. The most common cyclodextrins are α-, β- and γ-cyclodextrins consisting of 6, 7 and 8 α-1,4-linked glucose units, respectively, optionally comprising one or more substituents on the linked sugar moieties, which include, but are not limited to, methylated, hydroxyalkylated, acylated, and sulfoalkylether substitution. In certain embodiments, the cyclodextrin is a sulfoalkyl ether β-cyclodextrin, e.g., for example, sulfobutyl ether β-cyclodextrin, also known as Captisol. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,376,645. In certain embodiments, the formulation comprises hexapropyl-β-cyclodextrin (e.g., 10-50% in water).
